Eating My Way Through HOTlanta

Even though the ATL is that hot or warm (at this moment) for that matter, it’s still got great food and wonderful charm. CitySolve Urban Race took the red-eye to Atlanta yesterday and woke up charged and ready for some Southern hospitality.

After spending a good portion of the day in ??? and ??? (do you think we’re gonna tell you where the race is going) we were starving, and didn’t want to wait…next thing I know I’m hearing, “what’ll ya have, what’ll ya have.” If you’re from Atlanta or went to Georgia Tech you know where I’m talkin’ about. The Varisty.

This place is a landmark complete with a turn-back-the-clock lighted marquee to drive-up section and quick and friendly service. I was disappointed with the burger itself. The fries were ok. The winner are the onion rings. These rings are so good they’d make Beyonce smile!

After lettering in eating, our team went back to work writing clues for Saturday’s CitySolve Urban Race Atlanta. Glad to get rid of that grumbling, so annoying but useful for survival I guess.

Finally, our day came to a close and needed one last meal before shoving off to REM-land. We decided to hit up one of ATL’s best eateries…The Vortex. If you’ve never been it’s an absolute must when you come to The Peach City. If you’ve vegan/vegetarian stay away! The Vortex has enormous burgers. It’s been a stop off for Adam Richman’s Man vs. Food. Check out the heavyweight’s blog and vlog.

The Vortex has also been ranked in the Travel Channel’s 101 Chow Down Count Down. Landing at #90.

If you have an Atlanta joint that you want to share, please post on our blog. We want to share our experiences with you and would love to hear what makes you happy where you live.

Next event…
Houston urban race on March 20th
